I’m still researching for the project, and my mind keeps going in several different directions. I have not researched as hard as I should have, but even doing a little bit of researching has left me confused. There are so many subtopics within the big topic to go through…school assessment can be so many things. I have found plenty of statistics on MCS right now, but only very little for the opposition. It seems pretty obvious which side I am going to take, but I want to explore both sides. It will make a more effective argument.
At first I thought that maybe teachers were the problem…then I went to students…then that article about school boards we had to read for class got me thinking…something I read made me question school policies period. I’m not sure if I should just focus on one thing, or attack all of this at once. I’m sure, in actuality, the problem is a mixture of all these. It’s easy to blame the whole problem on one thing like I tried to do, but it just makes the argument too general. The issue is probably a complicated network of all of these things, interwoven and complex. I’ll have to go through all of this and really think about where the real troubles lie.
I hope anyone doing school assessment is having better luck than I am.

I will say that I am still researching and starting on the history of school assessment and hopefully I can get the page requirement and enough information to submit before the deadline. So far I'm editing my first part. I know what you mean on the subtopics. I was confused about everything and seemed to be writting from all over the place, but now I'm starting to focus and use other information as supporting facts or details.
The confusion is normal at this point. That's why you've been counseled to NOT try to pick a point of view quite yet. Doing that can really limit where you go in your research. I'm very glad to see, though, that you're sticking with it. It will come together.
